It is stated, for instance, that “mingled good and adverse aspects are discerned in the horoscope for today,” that “there will be an extreme crisis for the United States,” that “merchants should enjoy a brisk Spring trade,” that “articles formerly made in Europe will be manu- factured in this country and soon will appear on the market” and that “need of becoming an ally of They € Britain in the broadest sense will be heatedly dis- | cussed in Congress as the Empire reaches a most Hitler himself, we| we must | contest between France, Italy, Russia and Germany on one side and Great Britain on the other, which| vould result in a defeat for Great Britain and the | loss of her colonies. Something very like this has been shaping up over the past few years and time may yet prove the Professor's prediction. Looking still farther into the future, the Professor predicted that between 1942 and 1946 there would be war be- tween Japan and the United States, and that the Jnited States would suffer defeat. It should be pointed out, however, that the Hungarian also predicted® that a revolution in Spain would result in Spain’s becoming a republic. vas right about the revolution and wrong about its sutcome, He predicted for the Spring of 1924 a | great conspiracy against Mussolini which would be! put down with the Fasecisti triumphant. If this occurred, we don’t recall it. Not content with all this, Professor Raymond went on to foretell “a gradual reconciliation between France and Germany which will result in mutual good feeling by the time 1938 rolls around.” | If there has been a reconcilia- tion between the old enemies it was anything but |gradual, no good feeling has resulted and there wasn't even a sign of it in 1938.

Reflecting the views of Mussolini, Gayda has ex-| tolled he benefits of the Black Shirt philosophy far and wide. He has been most vociferous in telling what the Fascists would do once they went on the war path, how they would pulverize their enemies and build an empire that would make the Caesars jealous. Now Gayda is worried about democracy. He fears that the lease-lend bill to aid Britain now before Congress will mean the end of popular rule in the United States and the inauguration of dictatorship.! Where has that plaint been heard before? He be- |lieves that the measure is “proof of the danger of | dictatorship which forgets democracy.” Well, well! If that is so Gada should cheer it jon. He has been advocating dictatorship as the only form of government worthy of the name for| years. He should worry about dictatorship now in-| |stead of democracy. Especially should he be con- erned about what awaits his boss’ dictatorship. | We'll do our own worrying about democracy without | -he Roman editor’s help. . f | Honorable Fex Cleans Up (Philadelphia Record) WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26 Benefic aspects rule sfréngly to- | day which should be unusyally ror- tunate for men and wopien.

REPUBLICANS VS. REPUBLICANS Republican Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire has been opposed to Roosevelt on almost every New Deal measure before Congress. But on the lend-lease bill, much to the consternation of certain GOP col- leagues, he is not. Hearing this, isolationist Senators Taft and Vandenberg dropped around to see Bridges and convert him. “Why didn’t you go with Willkie on his trip to London?” one of them jibed. “You're no good to us here.” “And your partnership,” replied the New Hampshire Senator, “ism't doing the party any good either.” NOTE: Bridges has told Senate Democratic leaders he will try to convert as many Republicans to the lend-lease bill as he can. DOUGHBOYS OF 1941 In all the hullabaloo over slow- ness of national defense production, not much has been said about the good old infantry, which, despite modern warfare, still remains the backbone of the U. S. Army. Under the quiet, -steady plugging f General George Lynch, the in- ‘antry has been making such head- vay that by comparison the infantry »f 1917 looks like an antique. For instance, an infantry regiment n 1917 had 2,500 riflemen out of a otal of 3,600 men in the regiment. 3ut the modern infantry regiment nas only 900 riflemen, with the rest of the men operating tanks, mortars, heavy machine-guns light machine- guns and repeating rifles. action, every man abreast, one man ment is able to spread its fire over a tremendous area. In 1917 the U. 8. Army did not have one machine-gun at the begin- ning of the war and did not have tanks until the war was almost over. So it looks as if the modern dough- boy would be equipped to handle himself even more effectively than the doughboy of 1917-18. NOTE: General Lynch, who has headed the infantry for nearly four years, has almost completed his term of duty, but friends are hoping he will stay.
